Re: Idea to Balance Championship Divisions

I think this has merit and should lead to more balanced divisions... it's reasonably straightforward to implement and doesn't rely on rank or statistics that are subject to change each year.

The one thing that I think FIRST would likely find as a significant sticking point is having the Chairman's and EI (Culture Awards) as the third sort instead of the first. I agree with you that having them third is probably more likely to result in well-balanced divisions from an on-field performance standpoint, but even if the Culture Awards were moved to the first-sort I think this general method would probably still be better than the status quo.
